I am going to replace my front brake hoses at the end of this week. I just read the Haynes manual which stated that with ALB on the car, I cannot bleed the car in traditional way. I mean, with the DIY kit(bottle and hoses) and a helper sitting in the car pumping the brake padel. I saw quite some ppl replaced brake hoses on the board and none mentioned the ALB issue. I am just wondering if I can still follow traditional way to bleed it when I only replace the front brake hoses, or it's a job which only can be done by dealer. Thanks.

they may be refering to bleeding of the ALB system which is something that is "supposed" to be performed by a dealer. As for the regular brake system...the one attached to the brake booster...bleed as you normaly would. Sequence is 1) driverside front 2) passenger rear 3)passenger front 4)driver rear

have fun

hang on... aren't you suppost to first do the farthesst away from the booster. pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front. else you don't get all the air out.

If I replace both of the front hoses, do I need to bleed all four corner according to the order? By the way, how to release the pressure as discribed on the autozone.com. Thanks!
Anyway, I will consider to bleed all four corner, just have a chance to look at rear hoses.
